If you wish to drop out of the tournament for whatever reason, please notify all of the dealers. The dealers will choose a player from the Substitute Bench, which is essentially a waiting list of players eager to jump into your place. You are not allowed to pick the substitute.

If you will be gone temporarily, you may choose someone to take your place as a substitute, or let the Dealers pick someone from the Substitute Bench. If you do not choose a substitute, the LGT will pick from the Substitute Bench.

Players who have dropped out, been eliminated, or are playing the game cannot be substitutes.

As a dropout, you will not be able to re-enter the game. But if you were gone temporarily, your spot is automatically relinquished to you again upon your return.

Permanent substitute players will take on all of your profit/debt and become official players. Otherwise, substitute players will rely on their own bank accounts.

All earnings that a substitute makes for you in a game while you are absent will be split 50/50 between the two of you upon your return, unless you did not play a single day of the game. If this is the case, then the substitute's earnings are 100% his/her own and not yours.
